Couldn't let you love me
Had to put it in the soil
Buried it and gave you to the night
Didn't see it growing
Then you wrapped me in its leaves
Just in time for us to be torn asunder
How long can we go on with
just the remnants?
Not fit to build a shelter but
I'm trying all the same
Couldn't let you love me
Now I've put that in the soil
Buried it and mourned into the night:
"Such a beautiful heart
Such a beautiful soul
Lead me to your house
Lead me home"
How long can we go on with
just the remnants?
Not fit to build a shelter but
I'm trying all the same
I've lain beside you
You've made me content
It was always fleeting
Couldn't let you love me
Now I've put that in the soil
Buried all the times that
I was hesitant
Had to put it in the soil
Buried it and gave you to the night
Didn't see it growing
Then you wrapped me in its leaves
Just in time for us to be torn asunder
How long can we go on with
just the remnants?
Not fit to build a shelter but
I'm trying all the same
Couldn't let you love me
Now I've put that in the soil
Buried it and mourned into the night:
"Such a beautiful heart
Such a beautiful soul
Lead me to your house
Lead me home"
How long can we go on with
just the remnants?
Not fit to build a shelter but
I'm trying all the same
I've lain beside you
You've made me content
It was always fleeting
Couldn't let you love me
Now I've put that in the soil
Buried all the times that
I was hesitant
